– The remaining five countries said they plan to begin vaccination this month, but Korea is the latest when comparing the timing. On the 15th, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on the 26th that it will begin the first vaccination in Korea with the AstraZeneca vaccine. There is a controversy over the efficacy of this vaccine for the elderly, so first of all, residents and workers in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities under the age of 65 will be vaccinated.

Prior to this, the vaccine will begin on the 17th in Japan, the 20th in New Zealand and Colombia, and the 22nd in Australia. All four countries will be vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine.

Experts pointed out that the lack of early vaccine availability was the main reason behind the delay in vaccination. As of the end of last year, the amount of vaccine secured relative to the population was the lowest among 37 OECD countries.

– Kim Woo-joo, a professor at Korea University Guro Hospital, said, “Because of the lag behind the initial purchase of the Corona 19 vaccine, the vaccination timing and the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the secured vaccine were all lagging.” “We couldn’t secure a moder or vaccine, and as the vaccination started under the age of 65, the number of initial vaccinations decreased.”

Among the five countries with late vaccination, New Zealand and Australia have relatively stable COVID-19 quarantine conditions.

New Zealand, which starts vaccination on the 20th (local time), received 60,000 doses of Pfizer vaccine on the 15th. New Zealand Prime Minister Jershinda Ardan said on the day that “we have ordered enough vaccines to be left for all the people.”

– New Zealand won the title of’Corona Clean Country’ as the number of infected people was markedly low while Corona 19 was sweeping the world. According to the World Omometer statistics, there have been two confirmed cases a day in the last three days. New Zealand, with a population of about 4.82 million, has 2336 cumulative confirmed cases and 25 cumulative deaths.

According to the Associated Press on the 15th, 142,000 doses of Pfizer vaccine arrived in Australia on this day. Australia will be the first to begin vaccinating healthcare workers on the 22nd. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is also planning to take the lead in vaccination to increase public confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine, the Associated Press reported. In Australia, the situation of Corona 19 is stable, with about 10 confirmed cases a day.

Japanese authorities approved the use of the Pfizer vaccine on the 14th. Accordingly, vaccination will begin on the 17th, focusing on key healthcare workers. According to Reuters, Colombia will begin vaccination against Corona 19 on February 20. Medical staff caring for Corona 19 patients are the top priority targets.

– Lastly, Korea will begin vaccinating AstraZeneca vaccine on about 270,000 people under the age of 65 among residents and workers in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities starting on the 26th.

The Pfizer vaccine, which will be introduced through the COVAX facility, a global vaccine co-purchase agreement, will be introduced as early as the end of this month to the beginning of next month and will be inoculated to medical personnel, the authorities said.

– According to Bloomberg statistics, vaccine vaccination for Corona 19 is currently in progress in 77 countries around the world (including 32 OECD countries). To date, more than 173 million doses of vaccine have been administered in these countries, and the average number of vaccinations per day is about 6 million.

The problem is that due to the delay in the supply of vaccines, the vaccination rate is also slower than the original plan of each country.

Professor Kim Woo-joo said, “There may be limitations in keeping up with the vaccination gap with the countries that started earlier because the volume of countries that have secured the vaccine early are also in a different situation.” I am afraid that it will happen.”
